A sleazy pick-up artists who approached "young and vulnerable" schoolgirls in Glasgow has been jailed for two years.

Adnan Ahmed was found guilty last month of acting in a threatening and abusive manner that could cause a reasonable person fear or alarm.

The 38-year-old, using the name 'Addy A-Game', posted clips on YouTube of him approaching women to teach others about how to pick up females.

Ahmed approached five girls between May 2016 and November 2018 in Glasgow City Centre and Uddingston.

Adnan Ahmed has been jailed after being found guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court

During the trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court it emerged he approached two schoolgirls, aged 16 and 17 at the time, in a secluded lane in 2016.

The 17-year-old told jurors that the father-of-one called her “pretty” and made her feel “uncomfortable.”

Prior to the sentencing today Ahmed, from Maryhill, was remanded in custody.

Sheriff Lindsay Wood found there was a "significant sexual aspect" to the offences and placed Ahmed on the sex offenders register for 10 years.

"Two schoolgirls were shamefully targeted by you in a quiet lane and the three other women were considerably younger than you," the sheriff told Ahmed.

"Why on earth would you consider it appropriate to touch a complete stranger on the cheek and try to kiss them?"

He added: "You have acquired both notoriety and an unenviable reputation.

"Further, the public will be wise to such behaviour in future towards women by you and others like you.

"The courts will always try to keep abreast of developing criminal trends which cause public disquiet, concern and even outrage and will take appropriate steps to tackle these."

He praised Ahmed's victims for giving evidence, adding: "The mental scarring won't leave in a hurry but they will be fortified that by giving evidence of what really happened you will be held to account."

Ahmed disputed his actions were unlawful and in evidence accused his victims of lying or misconstruing him.

His lawyer Donna Armstrong later told he court heard he had not intended to cause fear and alarm.

Ahmed has been in custody since January for the current case and his two-year sentence was backdated.
